The County Reads Authors Festival

Thu April 25 - Sat April 27

Event Navigation

Once again, two of PEC’s favourite literary events have joined forces to create the County Reads Authors Festival.

County Reads will kick off the weekend on April 25th with an event hosted and moderated by County author Ken Murray. Cheer on five County residents as they champion their chosen Canadian book of the year!

After a spirited debate, spectators may vote for their favourite while enjoying some refreshments and taking in the DiscARTed art show, which will be held in conjunction with the Festival. The winner of the debate will be announced to great fanfare at the evening’s finale.

Over the next two days, book lovers will have an opportunity to hear from authors such as Wayne Grady, Deborah Komar and Camilla Gibb, in a series of talks and readings.

All events will be held at St. Mary Magdalene Church, and a portion of the proceeds will support the Prince Edward County Public Library’s expansion campaign.
